city of the fallen angels

First off, I am so sorry for disappearing! We got back on Tuesday and I started right in on a week jam-packed with meetings, internship interviews, and work. I have pictures, though, as promised. Enjoy!

The day after Disneyland, we went to Huntington beach. Cora and I had never seen the ocean before, so we had all kinds of fun jumping around in the waves.

On Sunday, we made a pilgrimage to Shareen Vintage, a little ways outside of downtown. I'd been wanting to go there since reading about it on one of my favorite blogs, and was not disappointed. The store is like a giant closet, and there are no dressing rooms so you can change wherever you want. The sweetest salesgirl of all time helped me zip up everything I tried on, including The Most Beautiful Pink Dress of All Time (pictures soon!).


There was an art fair just down the road, where I bought earrings and my mom bought a painting. The gate into the fair was decorated with sweet little crocheted flowers and ribbon hearts.

The artist we bought the earrings and painting from recommended a Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown. I had a pork & shrimp crepe with mint and cucumbers.

Later, we visited some friends in Santa Monica and they took us to Venice Beach, where we walked around and looked at houses. Can you imagine living in such a beautiful place?

On our last day, we drove up in the hills to see the Hollywood sign. Can you see it back there?

Thanks to Cora for so many great pictures (and for always looking so fierce!)
